Rakhi, Have you looked at Solr example directories (in Solr svn)? There may be an example of it there. From memory, the syntax is: <shards>URL1,URL2 .... </shards>
e.g. <shards>http://shard1:8080/solr,http://shard2:8080/solr</shards> This goes into one of the sections of the request handler configuration. Shards can also be specified in the "shards" param in the URL itself.
